A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JOHN T. NICCOLLAI

TO ALL STOP & SHOP MEMBERS

APRIL 8, 2019

          The

              Retailers are doing everything they can to make shopping trips an experience for customers. With the threat of online shopping, supermarket chains are trying out new ideas to increase traffic in the stores. One example of how stores are doing this is with a new display called the “Shellfish Spa”.

              Stephen Wilmot, in an article published on December 21, 2017 in the Wall Street Journal, covered a topic that has been widely discussed over the past several years.

          With all the changes happening in the supermarket industry, it is easy to be swept up in the new technologies breaching the market. Walmart is dramatically increasing the investment in the online grocery department of their chains. In addition, Amazon’s entry into the supermarket industry with its purchase of Whole Foods has some stores worried about upgrading their online presence.

           In today’s market, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with a transparency in the items they buy.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
